"The Old Man and the Millstones"
Once upon a time, in one of the villages by the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, there lived an old man. He needed round stones to grind oats and wheat. In those days, round, flat stones were used for making flour. One day, the old man rode his donkey to the lake shore to find suitable stones. A long time passed before he finally found what he was looking for. One of the stones was very large, and the other was small. The old man put both stones in a bag and set off on his way back to his village. The journey was long, the old man grew tired, and he stopped at the edge of an unfamiliar village. While resting, he thought that his donkey would not be able to carry such a heavy load any further, so he left the large stone there. From that time on, that village became known as Chon-Dzhargylchak – Big Millstone. The old man continued on his way, and upon reaching another village, he decided to settle there. He lived there until the end of his life, grinding flour for people who came from the surrounding areas. This village was named Kichi-Dzhargylchak – Small Millstone.
